Malta - otherPost here only if your question doesn't belong anywhere else. Don't post loads of questions all in one message - that would defeat the point of the forums and such posts will be deleted (don't feel embarrassed if you have 5 or 6 questions - you're welcome to ask them in separate posts in the appropriate place). (NB - if you want to post about something not Malta-specific, then use the main British Expat Forum.)

Journalists/TV & Radio Producers/Research StudentsWe get a lot of requests from journos wanting to interview expats so here's the place to do it. Please, everyone, have a look and see if you can help. (This is for Malta-specific requests only - general requests belong on the main BE Forum. Press releases/adverts will be deleted, so please don't waste our time. Thanks.)

There's gold in them thar hills!...and in these threads too. But you'll have to dig out the nuggets yourself! These are legacy threads from the good old days of the flatform forum that are just too daunting to upgrade!

Malta - Jumble SaleThis forum is for all the jumbled up info about Malta. We've asked that, on the info forums, you please post on the relevant forums, start new threads for new topics, and please keep on topic. Otherwise the info is too hard too find for those coming after, and the already overworked Mods end up having to repeatedly answer the same questions. (If your posting is locked in here, please feel free to post again in the appropriate place.)
